A Rare Case of Progressive Encephalopathy in a Sickle Cell Trait Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Fat embolism syndrome (FES) is one of the underdiagnosed and underrecognized complications that can happen in multiple medical and surgical conditions. FES can manifest in a broad spectrum of signs and symptoms and affect multiple organ systems in the human body. One of the most commonly involved is the central nervous system (CNS), mainly the brain, which can be involved in different ways, and the presenting symptoms can vary in type and severity. One of the most common causes of FES is trauma, mainly a long bone fracture or any orthopedic injury. However, one of the rare causes of FES is sickle cell disease (SCD) and thalassemia. Generalized and vague presenting symptoms, the rarity of FES, and the absence of well-defined diagnostic criteria make it a challenging diagnosis for healthcare practitioners. FES diagnosis is usually made after having a high index of suspicion in patients with underlying risk factors that can precipitate and contribute to the pathophysiology of FES. Moreover, the diagnosis is usually reached after excluding other more common and treatable conditions.
